I took this photograph of these pink and white flowers at Descanso Gardens a while back. They were blooming in spring near the tulips, I'm not sure what they are called, I do think it is almost time for them to bloom here again... They have such a delicate and yet profuse beauty. I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

I love to paint flowers, you may see some of my finished paintings at www.lisarusso.com if you'd like.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed steampunk maiden. She has goggles atop her head and her wings are mechanical. I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her. I didn't manage to finish my fairy for yesterday, but I am more hopeful that I will be able to do so for next Tuesday. I'd like to paint faster, but I think it's important to give a painting all of the time that it needs...

She is face 24 for 29 faces in February. The goal is to share 29 faces in the month of February.
